Chapter 228 Insipid
"If you believe it or not, if you leave or not, you will decide it, they are not us. Only with the first batch will there be the second batch and the third batch." Chen Tong patted the little sister's shoulder and comforted her.
From that day on, the little sister said nothing, but helped to serve porridge. When a child asked her, she smiled and said, "Mr. Ah, the disease has been cured, and we can eat well every day."
A few days later, the first batch of forty children set out with Princess Yining.
They did not return to Xi'an, but went to the farm first. Many wives and ladies in Xi'an have been waiting for a long time, including family, clothing, rice and flour. Some of them brought their wives and maids, while others sent their wives to the princess for help...
Princess Yining said to Chen Tong quietly: "Everyone dressed like they were going to a banquet. What are they here for?"
Chen Tong laughed out loud.
Princess Yining then asked them to leave the things, and the maids and mothers, together with them, all found an excuse to send them away.
Young Master's illness was cured, Chen Tong called the three of them over and asked, "Are you staying here or leaving? Or do you have any plans? If you want to go to Xi'an to make a living, we will take you all the way."
Chen Tong not only fulfilled the agreement to cure A Shao's illness, but also raised the three of them. Except for not selling them, she did everything she said in the broken alley that day.
These days, except for the younger sister, she hardly talked to them, nor did she care about her well-being.
The three children looked at each other, and the little sister reached out to pull A Shao's sleeve. A Shao was still a little thin, but his face was flushed and bloody.
The corners of A Shao's mouth moved and he didn't say anything. He looked at Han Wuji.
Han Wuji stared at Chen Tong with sharp eyes. After a while, he said, "We owe you, but we haven't paid it yet."
Chen Tong smiled: "I owe it first."
What does it mean to owe it first?
Debts always have to be paid, but it’s not time?
Or do you still have to pay it back if you owe it for a long time?
"No, we don't owe debts!" Han Wuji's voice had a sharpness that belonged to the child, which was not annoying.
"Then why are you still?" Chen Tong was curious.
"You saved our lives, and we will give you a life." Han Wuji said loudly.
Fangfei, who was beside her, could no longer hold it back, and she curled her lips: "My lady won't take your life."
Han Wuji ignored her, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, waiting for Chen Tong, as if he would force you to agree if you didn't agree.
The smile on Chen Tong's lips disappeared, and she looked faint: "Oh, OK."
OK.
It's that simple.
But she didn't say how to make them pay their lives, and she didn't say anything.
From that day on, the three children followed wherever Chen Tong went. When she returned to Xi'an, the three children followed Shuyuan Street. Xu An set a room for them to live in. When the food was cooked, the children would come to eat and help set up the dishes and wash dishes. But after the work was done, Han Wuji and A Shao would take turns patrolling Shen Tong's door. Azhi asked them to come back, but they ignored them and continued to patrol.
During the day, except for the little sister following Shen Tong like a plaster, Han Wuji and A Shao also took turns following Chen Tong went shopping. They followed him from afar. Chen Tong went to the shop, and they were guarding outside the shop.
Fangfei was anxious and asked with her waist on her back: "What are you doing with my lady all day?"
Han Wuji said coldly: "Waiting to pay her life back."
"My lady is amazing. You don't need to protect her. It's almost the same for her to protect her." Fangfei was angry with her lady for the first time and agreed to sell them.
After a while, the little sister came to Chen Tong and said, "Miss Chen, we won't get in the way."
Chen Tong said oh, saying, "I will study with my husband tomorrow, let's join you."
Isn't this going to knock them away?
The little girl ran away happily. Chen Tong looked at her back and suddenly became more interested in these three children.
The gentleman Chen Tong mentioned was invited by Xiao Ren. His surname was Chi. He was a Jinshi and had worked as a military clerk in the Western Qin army. During the war, he was cut off a piece of his leg by the Tartars. He was unable to move, so Chen Tong had to go to his house to attend classes every day.
On the first day of class, Chen Tong handed over a silver note: "The four of them are people around me. I want them to listen to the class together and recognize a few more words."
What she said was Fangfei and the three.
Mr. Chi laughed and returned the silver note to her: "I'm giving a lecture. If they want to listen, they will listen together. There is no need to pay extra money. If you are embarrassed, give me a few jars of Xifeng Bar."
Sir, good wine.
Chen Tong was not polite either and agreed with a smile.
"I'll sew some clothes for the sir." Fangfei likes to make clothes, but she doesn't do it well.
"I'll do it with Sister Fangfei!" the little sister shouted happily.
Fangfei wrinkled her nose, what would you do?
"Let's carry water for the sir to sweep the yard," Han Wuji said.
"We can also wash clothes for the sir." This is Mr. Ah.
Mr. Chi looked in a good mood, touched the goatee and said, "Okay, all are good."
This matter was settled.
From this day on, Chen Tong took them to and from school every day, and the days passed like water.
Spring is gone and summer comes, and the dryness of summer has not yet ended, and Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.
The first batch of forty children was only twenty. Some went to wealthy families to become maids and servants, and some went to shops to work as apprentices to support themselves. The remaining children were either young or wanted to study, so they stayed in the farm. Some husbands taught them to read and read, and some mothers took care of their daily life.
When Princess Yining sent someone to serve porridge for the second time, some children followed him spontaneously, and this time he took back more than 60 children.
Every time Princess Yining goes to the farm, she will call Chen Tong. Chen Tong has to go to the farm and also goes to the farm. After a while, it becomes very busy.
Xiao Ren was also very busy. Since he killed Huerjin, he has officially led the army, instead of being a single personal guard.
Therefore, after the summer solstice, he did not return to Xi'an. Instead, Da Ping ran to Baihuitang every few days and was very familiar with King Azhi.
Xiaochai has read three books. He read very quickly, but after reading it, he forgot, so he read it again...
The Shen family on the Academy Street, Mrs. Jiang is very capable. She doesn’t talk much, but she is very heartwarming. Huang and Xinwu both like her very much. Chen Tong occasionally looks at her thoughtfully, but she doesn’t say anything.
Xinwu became more and more skillful. When she was fine, she would make shoes and clothes for the children in the farm. Chen Tong took them there when she went to the farm. Gradually, the reputation of the Shen family's eldest daughter being kind-hearted and good at Nu Hong was spread.
After Chen Tong went to study, Huang once asked Xinwu if she wanted to study like her sister. Xinwu smiled and acted coquettishly: "My grandma, I'm not a material for studying. Besides, I just want to be with you at home."
